I’ve just found an article from Dogbunny 🫣 Yamaha headlight wire around (reserve lighting unit and idiot light)

Thanks for your help! It seems it is meant to be there then if you’ve also used a jumper wire; Could you possibly enlighten me on what the reserve lighting device is for?

Hi guys, probably a stupid question but here goes anyway.. I was investigating the loom on my ‘77D to update my regulator & rectifier and I had noticed one of the 3 connector blocks under my seat has just one single green wire looped around itself. I have checked diagrams but I struggle with...

Ok, I’ll check it out thanks! I like that you have the Yamaha logo engraved into the top there… was that request carried out by Fastec?

Ok, I’ll check it out thanks!

Cheers for the heads up! Those guys are literally round the corner from me. I’m sure they’re great items however I cannot justify that price tag. I would prefer a brace a little more in keeping with the age of my bike too.

Well shipping costs from mikes xs to the UK seem a bit steep. $82 to send the loopy brace. Thought I’d just post this Ad out here if anyone can help me acquire one at a cheaper rate then that would just be great! Cheers

Thanks @articXS as I am struggling to find any suitable upgrade of replacement discs without going down the route of your set up and adding spacers etc for a hefty price tag I am happy to try and have my 298mm dual disc(s) machined from 7mm to around 5mm with the faces drilled. My main concern...

Hi there, I know it has been like a decade lol however if you’re still here and you remember …that pandemonium brembo set up of yours, did you have to file off the back of the caliper to clear the spokes? I’ve heard and read a mixed bag regarding the fitment of these.

Hey arctic, this is a modification that I seriously want to consider on my ‘77 D this year. I’ve been doing some research and I’ve found so many options however I’m just not certain on what’s best for the bike with the least amount of messing around. My bike came with dual 298’s, those and the...

Good post gents, two birds, one stone… can someone enlighten me as to what was the size(s) of the latched male connections within here, ye blocks are…? Are they 6.3 or 4.8? Thanking you kindly

Okay great stuff, I’d like to see how you've done that. Pics would be very much appreciated 👍 were the parts relatively easy to source?

Hey, @Its been a long time, how are you finding that Lucas regulator? Is it doing its job? Also, is this an all in one Solid state with rectifier? Or would we need to fit that separately?? Cheers guys

Hi all, Up for sale are the titled and pictured from my ‘77 standard. They’re in good nick, straight, chrome is still pretty good the only thing obvious is a couple teeth missing on the zip but it still functions no problem. Preferably collection only from the UK. Offers considered. Cheers!

Cheers for the link Gary however I live in the UK so I’d pay more than it’s worth in shipping unfortunately ☹️

Are there any other sump drain plugs that fit the XS? Like from an XVS or something? When I eventually remove these stubborn bolts I am going to want to replace em, as they’re starting to get a bit smooth! I curse those monkeys that don’t replace the washers and over tighten 😡

The fork stanchions? They’re 35mm.

Thanks JP! That’s what I wanted to hear! Yeah I intend to keep everything safely to one side ready for when I choose to return the bike to stock. Cheers!

Could you possibly expand on your explanation? So I should remove the indicator earth/ground wires as well? I’m a little confused. To be honest I can’t see a problem disconnecting and removing the signal stalks for that cafe racer look as long as the open ended female connection on the loom is...
